Rose Salane: Basins of Attraction
In mathematics, a Basin of Attraction is a set of points from which a dynamical system progressively moves toward a particular attractor. In such systems equilibrium through continual motion can equate to stability.1
Here, each set of objects indicates the dynamic movement of a user through a site or institution with an end goal of restitution.
Sixty-four surveillance cameras dismounted from a New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services facility sit together on a low plinth, facing upwards. They were purchased as a unit from a public auction with no indication of where the cameras were formerly used. Each camera is labelled with sequential numbers indicating they were from one site. Their tinted dome protectors have been removed. Seen from above, each of the cameras appear paused mid-action. Minute variations in their degrees of angle indicate former positions perceived as interesting by a device tasked with recording and safeguarding a site.
